<p> SPH-1.5 Pre-Mix Heater Bidding Specifications 1.0 INTENT It is the intent of this specification to provide for the purchase of one (1) new and unused portable asphalt storing, heating and dispensing box to be used for the purpose of maintaining proper working temperature of hot mix asphalt. </p><p>The following specification is based upon a Stepp Mfg Portable SPH 1.5 Hot Box Premix Heater. The Public Works Department has evaluated different styles of asphalt hotbox equipment and has determined that this product is best suited for the DPW needs in terms of quality and features. This specification shall not be interpreted as restrictive but rather as a measure of quality and performance against which all other Portable Hot Box Premix Heaters will be compared.</p><p>In comparing proposals, comparison will not be confined to price only. The successful bidder will be one whose product is judged as best serving the interests of the DPW when price, product, quality and delivery are considered. The DPW also reserves the right to reject any or all bids or any part thereof, and to waive any minor technicalities. A contract will be awarded to the bidder submitting the lowest responsible bid meeting the requirements.</p><p>2.0 EQUIVALENT PRODUCT Bids will be accepted for consideration on any make or model that is equal or superior to the hot box specified. Decisions of equivalency will be at the sole interpretation of the DPW. A blanket statement that equipment proposed will meet all requirements will not be sufficient to establish equivalence. An original manufacture’s brochure of the proposed product is to be submitted with proposal.</p><p>3.0 INTERPRETATIONS In order to be fair to all bidders, no oral interpretations will be given to any bidder, as to the meaning of the specification documents or any part thereof.
